Pattern description from Alterknits: Basic embroidery stitches jazz up this colorful cardigan for boys and girls. When designing it, I was careful to keep the colors and the motifs gender-neutral so that it could be easily handed down from sibling to sibling (or other family member) without worrying about it being too masculine or feminine. Unlike traditional cardigans, the bottom of this one is knit in three separate panels (two fronts and a back.) the embroidery is worked at the end and is, of course, optional.”
